RACING AND TROTTING
NOTES.
, ' (BT "Cookbe-ON.") Afc the Kentucky Racing Association's 15 days' Meeting at Lexington in April'and May, 10 per cent, of the stakes and 1 per cent, of the totalisator, . turnover went to the Red Cross Fund. The prize money totalled £15,000, which ' meant £1600, and as all racecourse bet- ; ting in Kentucky is restricted to the totalisator, 1 per cent, from that source meant a very substantial contribution. Four horses, King Hans (B. Faddy), Bronze Boy (Rowlands;, Barrabaroo (J. ljonie), and Wet Sail (J. Sinclair) fell in the second division of the Purse at the Kedron Park (Brisbane) Meeting on June 29th. Tho horses and Rowlands and Sinclair escaped injury, but both Faddy and Lonie were seriously injured and taken to the General Hospital, where Faddy died' an hour after admission. Throe or four disturbances were associated with the Meeting, and after winning the last .race'on the : ex-Sydney jockey, O. R. (Dick) Griffith, ' was brutally assaulted, but, fortunately, }i,a injuries were not seriouß, thanks to "■ friends coming to his rescue, and one preventing a bottle 'crashing on to>his head. On the day that "Brownie" Carslake woa the One Thousand Guineas at Newmarket, on Feriy, the Australian jockey, • -W. A. Langford was successful on Tre'dare ;in the" Three-Year-Old. Handicap. There were" 28 starters, Treclare going out at a long price, and beatwg the favourite Jutland by a head. Sir William Tatem, who owns Treclare, won earlier in the day the Mildenhall Plate with White Squall, ridden- by»B. Smyth, Langford being second on Mr R. Walker's Sir Desmond. The Australian. De Mestre, trains both Treclare and Whito Squall. ,The present jumping-season is proving a bad,one in regard to casualties amohg the horses,(says the ''Australasian'" of July 6th). Royal precedent is, the latest to die. This hurdle racer - wis given a gallop at Epsom on Monday mpmng. When pulled up he was bleedto profusely from the mouth. He' died enSrtly afterwards, evidently having broken a blood-vessel. Caibye and Gluepothave met with fatal injuries, while, Samander broke a fet»ock, all the occtirrences taking place within little more than, a fortnight. Royal Precedent,was being trained by C. N. Kidman for Mr J. Timms, and had been doing well in his preparation for the Grand Notional Hurdle Race. A sensation was caused at the recent - show race meeting at (Jowra, New South l Wales.: A veterinary surgeon's needle was found-inserted in a horse's leg. The horse, Powdal, was a strong fancy for; tho race, and had to be scratched, j " Other' horses, ii is alleged, were also tampered with,"particularly Sonel, who 'fell. There has ueen an arrest. , i
' •_ The efforts of New Zealanders to win '"our Grand Nationals have been attended fey misfortune (says the "Austral- ■ iinian' 1 of July 6th). In 1903 they had hopes of winning the Grand National Hurdle Race with Westerley, who, - , after getting into tho second last * -'hurdle, led until crossing the final . i hurdle, when Marmont went- past him, i. and won easily from Lowland Chief. ~ -Two "years ago A. Goodwin came from aNow. Zealand with Morning, Sleight or and Tho Hound, hoping to win k^PtKe-Grand National Steeplechase. Four after their arrival at Caulheld, ■$<?Morning died of pleurisy, and a couple ?wiflE-d'«yß later Goodwin died in the Alfred from meningitis. This year was to have represented New in the Grana National Steeple- • He, however, died after schooljSiag ..over fences at 'Hemington on Thursday of last week.

He carried away a panel, fell. Gluepot was subsequently sent infer the course again, this time ridden Woods. He did not jump with any confidence, and fell again .at tho j '^ r logs near the abattoirs.

i NOTES ON THE RACING. (S7JEOIAL TO "IHB PUSS.") WELLINGTON, July 10. I Del ago and Reformation at one etage of the Vittoria Hurdles hod a lead of 50 vards, and , looked like making a runaway race of it. However, they stopped badly over tho last half-mile, and Kohumangu ran past them in the straight to win easily. Otara could not : handle the going, which was like a bog, and wits one of the first horses beaten. Meltchikoff ran a good race for a novice, and he will win before long. Faraoa dwelt too much at every fence, to have a chance. He will have 'to improve in his" jumping if he is ever to win a hurdle race. Reformation is a clean, ■ fast jumper, and looks, like making a good one. Tip TJp did not begin well in the Stewards.' Handicap, and was running lost for some time. However, he'finished well up. Hyllus and Olenroy both ran good races, and were only beaten in the final pinch. The horses that started in the Hack Sleeple- . chase were far from being a good lot. Oimeaby was winning very easily from Master Hamilton, when he ran off at the last fencc, leaving Master Hamilton to canter homo a winner fty one hundred yards. Royal Prince won the .Trial Handicap like a good horse. Fleetham got a very bad run, and was finishing much faster than anything in the race. He was not seen until a hundred yards from the poet, when he got clear and came with a great rush on the outside, j Master Strowan eoomed to win the "WellinK- ! ton Steeplechase very comfortably, but ho ' was apparently doing his best, as he ran down the last two fences badly. It was this fault that brought Bon Revo to grief at the last fence. Crib " looked short of work. He was i in a good position when he fell seven furlongs from the post, but did not look to have a winning chance. He was not hurt by the j There is nothing in the rumour that he lis wrong in the wind. He has always made I a slight noise since he had an attack of strangles about four years ago. Sleight of ffand jumped boldly, but was inclined to get ioo high at every fence. _ He staved on much t>etter than expeotod with his big effort at svery fence. Waimai was beaten a lonff way ■rom home, but ho jumped well. Zarkoma on a, very disappointing race. . He was last nearly all the way, and though jumping well 3id not appear to bo able to handle the going, tloddite ran" a great: race for a green horse, »nd looks likely to win a decent race before tho season closes. _ Bagdad won the Parliamentary Handicap uoely. Ho looked a winner Jhree furlong j !rom the post, and when asked to go to the front■'strode*out to win easily- If Orleans bad got a better run, ho .might have got seo-"Gladful-and Sir Kaher cleared right away from the field . over the last three furlongs of the "Winter Hurdles, and had-the finish to themselves. Naupata ran- a shoetong race, He did not seem able to gallop, ,and finished 1 Vascular' has ricked; a shoulder, and will not be a runner at the Meeting. Art will sot be a competitor, as his owner considers he oould not act in tho going. Lovo Token and Justification fell after going furlongs in the To Aro Handicap, fut both of them were a long, way back, and jould not have troubled the judge.
